Peekaboo, God Sees You

One of the greatest challenges of this era, I believe, is cultivating and sustaining a lasting state of equanimity as war wages around us. We all want wellness, healing, and success. We seek and consume an exorbitant amount of content trying to acheive these things. There are multi billion dollar industries designed to target this very drive.

Trauma informed and dopamine detoxed, we rely on ourSelf to provide. Alas, it's a constant clamoring for control and promotion of personal desires. We may walk around looking on the outside how we wished we felt on the inside--fit, together, in the know, etc.-- but we know damn well that something isn't quite right. But we carry on and fake it until the illusive make it arrives. And as long as we're able to disguise the incessant void from the outside world, we convince ourselves it doesn't exist within our inner world.

What's the void? What's missing from one's capacity to be fortified in the chaos?

I've been lingering at the threshold of my spiritual closet, so to speak, for a while now. It's all good and well to be spiritual, but God forbid you converse with the Holy Spirit on the regular! For shame! Some folks act as if you've fallen prey to Satan, ironically. But I digress. By lingering at the threshold of leading with my Spirit or my Body, I get a clear view of two separate worlds. One where God is embraced and one where God is denied.

I know a lot of people who claim an awareness or connection to some higher power yet don't venture beyond the physical realm to explore it. And I know very few who actively nurture and tend to that connection like their own personal garden. Niether will get judgment from me. I've been the former and am now the latter, mostly. I'd love to shout it at everyone I come across that God is real, alive, and craving a relationship with you! But that would be ridiculous. How would I know whom doesn't already have an active relationship with God? How could I possibly know that I wouldn't get punched in the face? More importantly, I don't believe it's my place to change the minds of others. That's not what I was put here to do. However, in order to be authentic and truly transparent with those around me, I must be a representative of Love. Am I perfect? Definitely not. Do I miss the mark morally or ethically at times? Indeed. Do I struggle with some of the emotional issues that I work with others to quell? Absolutely. I just know I would be doing a disservice to other humans if I didn't strive the embodiment of what I feel to be True and Real. God is Love.

I know I'm not alone here, either. There are many people who want to reach out and connect with God, or at the very least have gotten little tingly sensory experiences nudging them in that direction. Hopefully it's those people that find this post. The state of the world is a spiritual war zone. And if you don't see that, I'm sure you feel it. At anytime the stupidity of the world can dissovle in the presence of Love's intelligence.
